The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) implementation for Windows Embedded CE lets you connect remotely to a desktop computer that is running Windows XP Professional or Windows Vista, or to a server that is running Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, later versions of Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008 operating system.
In This Section
- RDP Support in Windows Embedded CE
Describes RDP for Windows Embedded CE.
- RDP OS Design Development
Provides information to help you design an operating system (OS) that works with RDP. Provides an overview of RDP and information about how to run Windows Embedded CE Terminal Services Client (CETSC). CETSC is software that enables a Windows Embedded CE powered device to access Windows-based applications on the Terminal Server. CETSC manages the user interface, and is derived from the Microsoft Terminal Services Client (MSTSC) found on Windows-based desktop systems.
- RDP Application Development
Provides information to help you design an application that works with RDP. Includes information about Terminal Services sessions, RDP support in Windows Embedded CE, implementing virtual channels, and programming guidelines.
- RDP Registry Settings
Defines the registry parameters that are used to configure RDP.
- RDP Security
Helps provide security information about RDP and best practices for implementation.
- RDP Best Practices
Provides general best practices for RDP.
